Free Portuguese (Brazilian) to German translator with the register set first — du or Sie — and names kept exactly as you wrote them.
Let’s translate!
Type, paste or upload a document. The source language is detected automatically. Select a name or term and tap Keep to leave it untranslated.
Paste Portuguese (Brazilian) and get German back with the register already decided: du for people you know, Sie for everyone else. Most translators make that choice for you and do not mention it. This one asks first, because in German it changes the grammar of every sentence, and a translation that gets it wrong is fluent and still wrong.
Three steps. The second is the one most translators skip.
Type, paste or drop in a document. Portuguese (Brazilian) is already selected as the source on this page; if the text turns out to be something else, the detector says so above the editor and you can change it.
Pick Sie or du from the register selector beside the language names, or leave it on Match source tone to follow the Portuguese (Brazilian). Select any name, brand or product term in the text and press Keep so it is not translated.
Read the German if you can. If you cannot, back-translate it: run the result through German to Portuguese (Brazilian) and compare the meaning, sentence by sentence, with what you started from.
The differences that decide whether a translation reads as written by a person.
Three things German readers notice at once, and a machine has to be told about.
All nouns are capitalised, which changes how a sentence looks; 'sie' (she, they) and 'Sie' (you, polite) differ only by that capital.
Four cases change article and adjective endings ('der', 'den', 'dem', 'des'); a wrong case is immediately visible to a German reader.
German builds long compound nouns ('Kundendatenschutzrichtlinie') where English uses a phrase; a translator has to decide when to join words.
Errors that start on the source side, before a single German word is chosen.
Portuguese drops subject pronouns; the verb ending identifies the subject and English has to restore it.
The personal infinitive and future subjunctive have no English forms; a literal translation of 'se você quiser' needs reshaping.
Diminutives ('cafezinho', 'rapidinho') carry warmth or softening that English usually has to express with extra words.
Emails to German, Austrian and Swiss companies and authorities.
German coursework and Goethe-Institut exam practice.
Reading German contracts, product manuals and news.
Going the other way? Translate German to Portuguese (Brazilian).
Yes. Translate Portuguese (Brazilian) to German without an account, within the per-run word allowance shown beside the editor. Signing in raises it, and Pro removes the guest limits and the ads. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.
German separates 'du' (familiar, singular), 'ihr' (familiar, plural) and 'Sie' (polite, always capitalised, singular and plural). Business and official writing uses 'Sie' unless someone has offered 'du'. Use du for friends, family and people who have used it with you; use Sie for customers, officials, employers and anyone you have not met. The register selector sets this before the translation is made, so the grammar comes out right the first time rather than being patched afterwards.
Not unless you want it to. Select a name or a term in the editor and press Keep, and it is passed through exactly as written. This matters for Portuguese (Brazilian) to German because a brand name can look like an ordinary word and get 'translated' into one.
Good enough to understand a document, answer an email or draft a reply, and it improves when you set the register and mark the names as kept first. It is not a substitute for a human translator on a contract, a medical document or anything with legal weight. The reliable way to check a translation you cannot read is to back-translate it: paste the German result into a new run set to Portuguese (Brazilian) and see whether the meaning survived.
Yes. Drop in a .docx, .pdf or .txt file, or paste the text; the output keeps the paragraph structure and can be copied, edited in place or exported.
Yes. Use the German to Portuguese (Brazilian) translator, or press the swap button between the two language names on this page. Either way the register and the kept terms come with you.
Check the Portuguese (Brazilian) before you translate it, or shift the register of the result once it is in German. One plan covers every tool.
Each pair opens the translator with both languages already set. The register and the Keep button work the same on every one.
